UX UI

Trade Me Property watchlist

Trade Me Property is New Zealand’s most visited property website with over half a million visitors each month. The watchlist on Trade Me is an excellent tool for users, though it has not been utilised entirely in the current implementation. As part of the idea-sharing day for our apps, we proposed the idea of making it a bigger and more powerful tool to empower our users in the collaborative, decision-making process of finding the right house.

Problem statement

Looking for your next home is stressful. Rachel and Mike want a house that fulfils their criteria. They want to make informed decisions. And they don’t want to make the final decision alone.

Discovery

Based on existing research, we mapped the ideal journeys of our users 'Rachel' and 'Mike'. We identified three main areas where Watchlist could add value to their journeys – collaboration, comparison and planning.

Design

For a focussed approach, we created detailed wireframes to present the ‘collaboration’ aspect of our idea.
